Happy fall everyone! We are back with another one of our big, seasonal updates to ring in the cooler weather. :)
Updated to 26.2
The server has been updated from 1.21.11 to version 26.2, which now adds some of the following into the server:
- Sulfur Caves and Cubes
- Craftable Name Tags
- Baby Mob Visual Overhaul
- & more!
You can now join in the latest version in both bedrock and java.

New Fall Spawn
Huge shoutout to the buildiers of our new halloween server spawn, LandoVelmore, ac_o, and D0OM199! This server spawn is awesome, so make sure to hop on and explore the spooky new builds.
We were originally going to pick the higest rated build and leave it as the active server spawn for the duration of the fall season, but the votes were close, so we decided to include the 2nd and 3rd place spawn builds too!
So here is the current timeline:
1) The current spawn will remain until October 25th.
2) The third place spawn, made by WobblingSpoon will be active from October 25th - November 1st.
3) The second place spawn, made by BalsamicBulb573 will be active for the entirety of November.
Thanks again to everyone who participated in the competition.

2 New Questlines, Fall Festival & Ghouls and Goblins
There are two 10-part questlines that have been added to the /quests menu in-game. The first is more mellow, centered around hunting, gathering, and crafting and the second is grindier, focused on mob killing.
Completing both questlines will give you six new chat tags, three new pets (Myrtle the Mummy, Cylly the Clown and Bryborn the Bone Dragon) and the complete nine-piece Hunter's Moon set with netherite-level stats. You'll also collect 20 plushie goodie bags (10 Cozy Fall and 10 Creatures of the Night), 130 diamonds and 5,450 XP along the way.
---------------
New Plushies
We had a lot of positive feedback about the plushies that we added a few months ago, so, we decided to add some fall ones.
- The Cozy Fall Goodie Bag is earned in the fall festical questline and from the goodie bag shop.
- The Creatures of the Night goodie bag is earned in the Goblins and Ghouls questline and from the goodie bag shop.
- The House of Horrors goodie bag is purchasable with diamonds in the supporter area of the mall.
Want to display plushies in a better way and fit more into your collection without hitting the entity limit? Consider displaying them in item frames.
---------------
World Border (+ Nether) Expansion
To allow for the generation of the new Sulfur biomes, we have expanded the overworld by a radius of 5,000 blocks, and since everyone has been begging, we also expanded the nether by a 5,000 block radius as well ;)
---------------
New Chat Bubble System
Wild decided to go on a side quest and create a chat system that displays chat bubbles over your head when you talk (cool, I know) and it is now available for all players.
Use /speak to customize your settings.
You can unlock over 21 additional text effects and 42 additional voices through speech goodie bags, available near the server spawnpoint. Supporters get access to two additional speech voices (animal crossing, male and female characters) and two additional effects (shake and glitch) but all of the others must be acquired through goodie bags.
---------------
More Custom Music
We seem to be addicted to goodie bags (maybe because the holidays are approaching, idk) so you can also get 27 new custom music discs through the music goodie bag, which is also available in spawn from the same vendor.
---------------
Misc Additional Changes
- Added the other color variations for the furniture in the mall
- Redid the /pets menu to make it more clear which pets you could get, and which ones you can't.
- Added 4 new pets, 3 of which are available through the new quests, 1 of which is available for supporters.
- Fixed custom furniture and plushies having improper positioning. Many objects became rotated in weird directions and sunk below the nearest blocks at some point in the past few months, this has been fixed.

That's it for today's update! We have a super cool community-made event coming up, so stay tuned for another announcement, and see you on the server!
